Useful Info
Other than dealing direct damage, this spell creates derived undead, in the form of skeletons.
HD of skeletons depends on the spellpower: minion_hd = mons_hd * (100 + pow) / 300. This means that at the max spellpower skeletons will have 1/2 of their original HD. Skeletons will last for around 27 turns, regardless of spellpower. There is no limit to the amount of skeletons that you can create.
Necrotise has an enchantment power multiplier of x3.5, which makes it significantly harder to resist than other early-game spells. However, due to the low spell power cap, it struggles to affect enemies in the mid-game onwards.
Strategy
Necrotise deals decent, AC and EV ignoring damage. For an XL 1 Necromancer, expect around a 60-80% chance to succeed (ignoring your own spell failure rate).
Note that your own skeletons can block Necrotise's line of fire.
Monster Spell
Monsters have access to the Pain spell, which deals the same damage but doesn't create a skeleton.
History
- Necrotise was introduced in 0.29, combining the effect of Pain (without the self damage) and Animate Skeleton.
